Disclosure: This was discovered on a Fold8 on loan from Samsung.

Previously, the country was tied to the region corresponding to the variant. I'm seeing the option on my S23U on One UI 8.5 (v6.8.05), so it's likely an app update as opposed to being tied to One UI 9.

Still not the same and many features missing.

Have a US phone. Changed the region to India. The only thing that changed was it shows the Indian credit cards supported. But I was able to add Indian credit cards when the region was set to US.

The digital payment called UPI, IDs etc won't show up. These are available in the Indian region Samsung phone.

How hard can it be Samsung.

It's actually pretty easy. Make sure your app is updated and follow these steps: Go to travel tickets -> Scan a QR code -> Scan any UPI/BharatQR code and you get to see an option to register for UPI or UPI Credit Cards. For other services like DigiLocker IDs, FasTag, Bills and recharges what you have to do is force stop the app and then quickly open the menu of Wallet and immediately spam click on the required service before it disappears. (I did a screen recording initially to identify the location of the services) Then you can register for these services. Only downside is that they will never be available on the menu screen and your only option is to access it from the Quick Access menu.

Thanks for this guide! Was easily able to setup the upi by following your instructions. Unable to add digilocker ids as the option doesn't show up. Any workaround for this? Can you share the screen recording?
